Well I have heard that firms can be snobby about transfers into NU and discount their GPAs at 2L Fall OCI or look at them very skeptically. Even if transfers get an unfair advantage for graduation honors they have a harder time at OCI which is when grades matter more for most people.

You sure? Do we not lose an equal amount of students who go to higher rated schools?

Not even close to an equal number.

There's not all that much upside for the vast majority of students in going through all the life-disruption of transferring up from Northwestern (a T14 with better biglaw employment numbers than some higher ranked T14s). On the other hand, there are gobs of high performing students at lower ranked schools for which a shot at NLaw OCI rather than their 1L school's paltry OCI could expand their job options a gazillion-fold.

Plus, we apparently bribe rising 2Ls with scholarship money if they are a credible transfer risk. But that's a whole other can of worms...

Hey there, non-c/o 2015ers, I'm starting up an NU Law fantasy football league and it's growing quickly. So quickly, in fact, that we'll have to do two leagues. So, if any of you are interested in joining, we'd be happy to have you. At least one, probably both, will be a keeper league. (For the uninitiated, that means you can keep some of your players from one season to the next.) All experience levels welcome and encouraged!

They will probably come out sometime in the next week or two. But students are asked not to tell other people when they have been given an offer to Law Review (or any journal for that matter) in fairness to the journals and students that have yet to give or receive offers.
